This quilt is for first and only baby boy. I have four daughters, and finally got a sweet little man. I made this one for him. He has been spoiled. I think he will end up with five baby quilts if my sister ever gets her butt in gear and finishes hers for him.

It is a cute pattern made by Heather of Anka's treasures.

Here it is in the process, laying it out and stitching it together. It was a really fun quilt to make, and pretty quick to put together...

I hope you like Weston's quilt. He does :) Now on to some fun stuff... Quiltstory is a blog where everyone can submit and share stories about their favorite quilts. Look around our site a little we hope you like what you see and come back often. We are also having a giveaway...

Very cute quilt! Baby quilts are my absolute favorite thing to make. I was blessed with three precious girls and told "no more babies" by my doctor so we are hoping to adopt a baby boy in the future. Until then I will live vicariously through others that get to "spoil" their boys :D

What a gorgeous quilt! I'm looking forward to reading more here, I had to become a follower so I don't miss anything, lol. Not sure if I'd submit a quilt, after seeing this one I'm feeling intimidated, lol!

Fun and bright boy's quilt! Last year I also made a quilt for my only boy but he is really a 24 year old man and the quilt is a lot bigger (90x100) because he is close to 6'4" :) I'd love to win a pattern or stack of fat quarters!

I would also like to share a quilt story. This is about the quilt I am currently working on - its up to the border stage. This quilt was started over 5 years ago and it's called Cabin Cosy, a log cabin block with a bear paw inthe corner. I love log cabin blocks but have decided I do not like bear paws, these were so time consuming and I was not happy with the way they turned out that I stuck them in a cupbarod for 5 years. They came out last year and I added the log cabins, but then they went back in the cupbard. Well I pulled it out a couple of weeks ago and have sewn them together so all that I need to do it to see the borders on (today hopefuly) and book myself in to quilt it and it will be done. And can I say that now its together I just love it.

What a sophisticated pattern for a little one but the rick rack softens it. What a lucky boy-he already has quite the quilt collection.--Sandra StarleyAs an AQS Certified Quilt Appraiser, collector and also a quilt maker I have lots of storiesCome see my antique quilt entrieshttp://utahquiltappraiser.blogspot.comhttp://starleyquilts.blogspot.com
